Like many church plants, when Pursuit Community Church launched in the fall of 2018 in Mounds View, MN, they had no office space. At the time, there were only two staff members. “We used to work out of coffee shops, restaurants, libraries, anywhere that had free Wi-Fi and cozy space. That all changed the day I walked into the Winkin Rooster.” said Lead Pastor Mark Allen.

We're so grateful we were able to have fall retreats and camp this summer despite the restrictions, and we're even more thankful everyone had fun and stayed safe. This past summer we proved we can offer a fun camp experience while following all safety protocols and keeping everyone healthy.

Believing God was calling the church to be “in the city, for the good of the city,” it became obvious that Elevate needed the building so serve as a youth group for the city.

In May 2020, Converge North Central was the epicenter of all that has come from George Floyd's death. Amid that devastation, God's Spirit poured out as people came to Christ and were baptized. Converge from across the country supported the Rebuild Relief fund with donations totaling over $25,000. Thank You! These gifts from God have been redistributed and initially were used for some short term clean-up and meeting needs from the neighborhoods. As additional funds came in, God continues to use His resources and people toward long-term Kingdom building flowing directly out of that initial turmoil. God is at work! Converge North Central is thankful for our many Pastors and churches who stepped up and demonstrated mercy, grace, and being the hands and feet of Jesus through this challenging time.
